InSight was a NASA lander mission designed to study the deep interior of Mars. Managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) with contributions from European agencies, its primary goal was to understand the formation and evolution of rocky planets. The lander carried instruments like the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) to measure marsquakes and a heat probe (HP3) to study the planet's internal heat flow. InSight's mission provided data about the planet's core, mantle, and crust, contributing to our understanding of the early formation of terrestrial planets.

The solar panels of InSight generated 5,000 watt-hours of energy per Martian day at landing but now produce just one-tenth of that.
Increasing dust levels in the Martian atmosphere are worsening the power decline for InSight.
Temporary boosts in power from cleaning efforts provided an additional four to six weeks of operations for InSight's instruments.
NASA hoped for a cleaning event, such as a dust devil or wind gust, to remove dust from InSight's solar panels.
The shutdown of InSight's seismometer could occur as early as mid-July 2023.
The project has not ruled out the possibility of restoring contact with InSight in mid-2023 if a cleaning event occurs.
Engineers have attempted to clean InSight's solar panels by using the robotic arm to scoop regolith and drop it near the arrays.
InSight measured its strongest Marsquake on May 4, 2023, estimated to be a magnitude 5.
Controllers plan to begin shutting down some science instruments on InSight in the coming weeks.
NASA's InSight Mars lander mission is likely to conclude by the end of 2023 due to declining power levels.
Science operations for InSight are expected to end in July 2023 as the output from its solar panels decreases.
Banerdt also stated that power levels are expected to fall below survivability for InSight by the end of 2023.
InSight's robotic arm will be placed in a retirement pose, with its camera oriented to view the seismometer.
NASA classifies InSight as a success, having operated beyond its primary mission of one Martian year.
